Install XP. You have to set bios to boot from the CD then insert the XP cd
and reboot your computer.

There is no need to reinstall W98. Watch your boot screen and press the key
indicated to enter setup (BIOS). Once in, navigation instructions are
provided. Go to the boot section and make sure that the CDRom drive is
listed as the first boot device. Save the settings, exit and boot with the
XP CD in the drive. If you are using an Upgrade version of XP, it will ask
to see your W98 CD to verify a prior system.
